Thank you for taking the time to visit our technology and services page! Proudly serving the credit card processing needs in Detroit MI and surrounding areas.
Merchant processing has changed quite a bit over the years. We have gone from imprinting credit cards on 3 pieces of carbon copy paper and mailing in a copy to Mastercard to streamline point of sale units that can manage all aspects of a company at multiple locations with the speed of the internet. Every business is different and it is the job of the merchant services specialist to really understand how the business is ran. Some businesses might employ thousands of employees while some may be a sole proprietor working on his own. While we love to take on large companies Swipe-It Ventures has made a name for themselves working with smaller businesses some might call mom and pop stores. They were the first to adopt the cash discount/dual pricing model and will always have a special place for us. With a smaller shop it is easy to just put in a single point terminal. All of our terminals are smart terminals and accept all major credit/debit cards. They will also accept applepay and google wallets. All of our terminals offer tap to pay as well. If requested our terminals can come equipped with wifi or or a cellular chip installed. This means that a business owner can take the terminal wherever they need to and still process transactions. We have a lot of merchants that take these terminals to trade shows and use them for food trucks. The coverage is great and pretty much will be able to run a transaction wherever you have cell phone services.
We have many options when it comes to Point of Sale setups and credit card processing in Detroit MI. This gets a little more complicated in choosing the right one for your business as there are many out there. Some are industry specific. Many factors come into play during this decision process.
Inventory is very important to many businesses. For instance a pizzeria may need to track how much cheese, pepperoni, ham, mushrooms, bell peppers etc. that they have on hand. In fact, just running out of one ingredient may have major financial repercussions. Just say an employee forgot to mark down that they are out of yeast, now the restaurant cannot make any dough for the next day. It can really cause delays especially with dough as it takes time to make and settle before it can be cooked. With the right point of sale that would never happen. With inventory management employees or managers can reconcile the inventory each night. A list of inventory can be generated letting management know what needs to be ordered or needs to be ordered soon. This also helps cut back on waste products that will not be over ordered when inventory is correctly counted. Some point of sales have very advanced inventory features that allow for real time product management. It means that if you measure out your ingredients like pepperoni, sauce, or cheese that each time a large pizza is made a specific amount of each of those ingredients will be deducted from the inventory. Basically is live inventory tracking. Having a point of sale that tracks inventory also cuts back on theft or waste due to employees. When inventory is tracked through a point of sale employees know that everything is being watched and accounted for. An extra pizza, cup or cookie here and there by 20 plus employees can add up to thousands of dollars throughout the year. Just the fact that they know it is being monitored will save the business owner lots of money.
Employee management is also a huge undertaking for most business owners along with credit card processing in Detroit MI. Our point of sales have many options and can really help the business and management stay organized. Our point of sales can track simple clock in and clock out functions with a simple four digit pin. However they can do so much more based on your business needs. On some systems we can create a schedule for employees to follow and they can even login with their phones to an application that shows the days and shifts on the schedule. Requests for time off and vacations can also be selected on this app with manager approval functions. This feature allows owners and managers to track weekly hours worked and schedules going into the coming weeks. With hours being tracked its easy to use our payroll management features. Our systems integrate or can be exported to many accounting services. Some point of sale setups can actually make it very easy to do payroll and even issue checks or direct deposits to their employees. Automatic tax documents can also be generated and sent to employees. All of these payroll and scheduling features are great but what does it really mean for the business owner? It means not having to text/call every employee when there is a schedule change. It means no bulky log for vacation time or requests. Automatic tracking of time off, sick days and not having to write out a cumbersome paper schedule for the staff. It saves time by not having to manually track time sheets. It means not having to set up direct deposits or weekly checks sent out for every employee. It means not having to mail out end of the fiscal year tax documents to every employee. It saves time by not having to track every ingredient on the shelves, refrigerator or freezer. It makes it easier to stay stocked up on all necessary food and or products. It cuts down on food waste and product theft. Overall it just makes running a business much more efficient and effective along with credit card processing in Detroit MI.
